VPS have been flying the flag for BTTS

Back Both Teams to Score @ 1.9620/21 in VPS v Honka

Tobias Gourlay's on his way to northern Europe for this evening's game from the Veikkausliiga

VPS v Honka
Saturday 15:00

We got our days wrong but our bet right in China. Shenzhen FC's six pointer with Beijing delivered the 1-1 draw we wanted - but 24 hours earlier than advertised. Apologies to anyone affected. That's the last time we use that particular world football website.

Today - and it's definitely today - we're in Finland. After 17 rounds of the 12-team Veikkausliiga VPS are winless and bottom of the table (W0-D9-L8). At Hietalahti, the hosts have taken four points from a possible 24, but they have scored in 7/8 of those matches. They have conceded, of course, in all eight.

Visiting Honka are up in fourth. They are W4-D2-L2 on the road this term, having scored themselves in 7/8. At the other end, they have been pretty lax, notching just two clean sheets. Having conceded five times across their most recent two away games, we think they can both score and concede today to deliver a BTTS bet at close to even money.
